Riding Lawn Mower dieing out after using it for 10 mins.

Hi,

I have a Craftsman riding lawn mower tractor. I change the spark plug and oil every Spring. The issue I'm having is that it runs for 10 minutes then dies out. It sounds like something is killing the engine and making it stop. It seems like there is some issue with the spark and the firing doesn't sound right moments before the engine dies.

It has gas in it of course. If I go to restart it, it starts just fine for another 10 minutes then dies again and so forth.

Any ideas on what the problem is?

I also had the battery checked and it is good.

Thanks!

Sounds like a fuel problem, check the filter and also clean the bowl, lots of debris can get in there.
